ABOUT THE LIVER WEEK

The Liver Week is a multidisciplinary international conference organized by liver-related societies in Korea, including the Korean Association for the Study of the Liver, the Korean Association of HBP Surgery, the Korean Liver Cancer Association, and the Korean Liver Transplantation Society, which first came together as hosting organizations in 2014. The conference has since been held annually, drawing over 1,300 participants each year.

The Liver Week serves not only as a platform for exploring recent research trends and insights into liver disorders presented by esteemed professors and researchers from around the world
but also as a venue for the exchange of information among participants. This exchange fosters the advancement of our studies and research efforts. The Liver Week offers participants authoritative lectures and discussions by both domestic and international speakers on key issues related to liver diseases, such as viral hepatitis, liver fibrosis, liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, and more.
